Dr. Ronnie de Souza Santos is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Software Engineering in the Department of Electrical and Software Engineering at the University of Calgary and Head of the PLURISE Lab (Plural Software Engineering for a Plural Society). His research investigates socio-technical aspects of software engineering, with emphasis on fairness and responsible artificial intelligence in software systems, including topics such as software development processes, quality assurance, project management, and algorithmic bias in AI-enabled systems. A central component of his research program considers how software engineering practices can incorporate principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion, contributing to the development of software systems that better reflect and support the diversity of society.
